Thanks for posting the link I was looking myself. I'm not going to judge him that's The Lords place. Could he have been telling the truth? Yes he very well may have been. This accusation may have mentally been the straw that broke the camels back for him. It wouldn't just be the accusation but the inability he would have to clear his name because the accuser being 17 at time would have sealed records.

Freepers men and women both in these times best beware. If someone is angry at you such a neighbor and wants to get their jollies all it takes is a call to a state agency to make your life a living hell for a long time to come and you have no power to clear your name or even know who has accused you.

15 minutes of fame brought to you by media more than eager to smear Christian Conservatives making instant celebrities of accusers and our justice systems lack of interest to pursue false report charges it's open season with no risk.

His letter sounds like a dyeing declaration of a man whom simply had taken all he could take of a sum total of events.

If he was a Christian and had done the wrong accused of does it not make sense he would want it off his chest at least in the letter before he killed himself as a self punishment because he was guilty? One last thing it would also destroy his ministry, the trust of his ministry, which he had served. It would be more than a political issue at stake for him.

Once accused innocent or guilty in these time of internet how could he ever move on? Perhaps the reason there was no criminal charges was due to the accusation not fitting a forensic physiological profile as being truthful? We'll never know. That would be sealed. Yes in such cases involving sexual assault on a Juvie that profile exam is usually done and any criminal charges come from there as well as any physical evidence or witnesses. You'd think someone would notice a drunk preacher wouldn't you?

Tarasaramozart, I concur with your post. I think some folks on this forum should perhaps step out from behind their keyboard and monitor a little more often and have some positive person to person interactions with real human beings outside this virtual bubble.

I feel confident in stating that nobody who has posted in this thread knows whether the accusations are true or not. Yet anonymity seems to breed a self-righteous confidence that gives rise to outright crass belligerence.
How would any of us feel if it were us accused? How would we feel if it were our son, brother, father, grandfather? So far most of the accusations are hitting public figures that are in the abstract to us. However, if the trend continues, it may work its way down to people well-known to us, perhaps even close to us. Will we be so flippant about the outcome then?

This thread sure brought out the ill mannered self righteous morons.

I would not wish PTSD on my worst enemy. It takes years in therapy to be rid of that beast.

“pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children”

Most 13 year old girls have started puberty, so, even using your own logic, men having sex with 13 or 17 year olds is pedophilia. Predators preying on 13 or 17 year olds are pedophiles. If you don’t believe me, just watch them suicide at the first light into their nefarious activities. If they go to trial, I’m sure pedophiles get their dues in prison.

Like someone said previously, an innocent man doesn’t kill himself over an empty accusation.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT PREPUBESCENT DON’T YOU GET?

PRE PUBERTY....KIDS. YOUNG CHILDREN.

In what world is a 17 year old close to being prepubescent?

Today right now in KY 16 is legal age of consent so you’re just a fool.

“is he claiming he was a first responder on 9/11 or something?”

Yes, he was a 9/11 first responder.
Don’t know if he did anything wrong or if he’s a victim of a “metoo” witchhunt, but I figured his last words should be included here. He’s in the hands of the One who can make and pass the right judgment now - I sure don’t know much about him and what his situation was.

People kill themselves for all kinds of reasons but mostly depression.

So tell me wise self righteous one, was he guilty?

But that is wrong
Yes, yes they do
People kill thrmselves over stains on their honor and their family
Suicides cover the gamut of souls tortured for many reasons
Some righteous and some not
His accusers better have experienced real assault and trauma and not been jumping on a “15 minutes of fame” train

Wayne07 is a DU troll who needs to ride the lightning.

He has messaged me about what a horrible pedophile Roy Moore is. Sounds as if he is projecting.

A 13 year old who has started puberty is not prepubescent either. Wrong and sick.

“So tell me wise self righteous one, was he guilty?”

I thought I made myself pretty clear. Somebody, who calls himself a Christian and a pastor no less, does not commit suicide over false accusations. Sounds like the guy’s skeletons were coming out of the closet. Remember, the simplest explanation is usually the right one. And it cannot get more simple than this.

Yes they do when they have already been tried in the court of public opinion with no evidence.
